Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Mycotic keratitis, an infection of the cornea, is uncommon in many regions.
  • This study examines three cases of anterior segment mycotic inflammation.

Observation:

  • Patients presented with clinical signs of keratomycosis.
  • Microscopic and culture analyses identified Fusarium and Candida albicans as causative agents.

Findings:

  • Natamycin 5.0% suspension effectively treated Fusarium keratitis.
  • Natamycin improved symptoms in Candida albicans infections.
  • Surgical intervention, including keratoplasty, was required for two patients due to complications like abscesses and secondary bacterial infections.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and targeted antifungal therapy are crucial for managing mycotic keratitis.
  • Aggressive management, potentially including surgery, may be necessary for severe or complicated cases.
  • Understanding the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes aids in managing these rare ocular infections.
